Frank Facts

This is a 3rd person commentary.

The family knows his mother has been fretting about Frank because of his tendency to ...how can I say it politely...Procrastinate? Be lazy? Put things off?

He enrolled and did his tests early enough, but put off making the required counseling appointment. After much nagging suggestion by other parties, he finally tried to make the appointment but found that most of the appointments were booked. The earliest one he could get was a week before school starts. His mother was irritated and had to choke back the ITYS (I Told You So) reflex.

Today, he had the appointment and his mother was surprised that he managed to get some decent classes: English, Chemistry, Music Theory/Musicianship, which are all transferrable to the university.

It's not the greatest schedule -- On MW he has a 5 hour gap between 2 classes but hopefully he can go to work during the gap.

But he didn't write down the exact class #s and sections so he couldn't buy books today. He swears he will do it Saturday. His mother is concerned that the bookstore will run out of books before then. (Only because it happened to her once.)

He had over 2,000 text messages on the last cell phone bill. His mother had no idea. That new girlfriend is a textaholic.

His mother is glad summer is almost over.
